Import Tips
• Label containers clearly as 'crude, unrefined' with fatty acid profile to substantiate classification
• Ensure bulk packaging meets food-grade standards if dual-use for edible purposes, avoiding contamination issues
• Watch for misdeclaration as virgin oil, which could trigger higher duties or reclassification
